You don’t have a “problem leader.” You have a leader caught in the wrong decision patterns.
Every organization has a smart, capable manager who is working hard but still struggling.
The signs are familar:
They are reacting and firefighting instead of leading
Their team’s performance or engagement is slipping
Peers and stakeholders are frustrated and relationships feel strained
Communication is reactive, inconsistent, or unclear
Senior leaders are losing confidence and patience
At this point, HR is debating whether to start a performance plan, even though it will document the decline but rarely reverse it.
The Leadership Reset Intervention™:
A structured alternative to PIPS and replacement.
This is not coaching for the sake of development.
It is an 8-week, performance-focused intervention that shifts the internal decision patterns driving a leader’s behavior. The goal is simple: bring sharp focus to the patterns causing the breakdown and shift them, which stabilizes the leader, stabilizes the team, and restores organizational confidence quickly.
Most leadership programs teach skills.
This intervention changes how leaders think, respond, and communicate in the moments that determine whether performance improves or breaks down.
You’ve already tried the logical steps:
- clearer expectations,
- more feedback,
- extra training,
- patience and time.
But nothing changed.
Because leadership training doesn't reach the root cause.
The problem isn’t the leader’s capability. It is the decision patterns they fall back on when faced with challenges.
Those patterns drive behavior, communication, and team stability.
To fix the performance issue, you must shift the patterns behind it.
The simple three-step plan
Pinpoint the decision patterns creating the leadership breakdown
Through practical, accessible conversations, we identify the leader’s default reactions and decision patterns when faced with challenges.
Shift the behaviors using proven, real-world leadership tools the leader can apply the same day
These tools are simple, effective, and used immediately in real situations to build consistent behavior fast.
Restore organizational confidence as the leader and team stabilize
Behavior becomes steady. Communication improves. Escalations drop. Trust returns. The organization sees tangible progress in weeks.
Each engagement is tailored to the leader’s role, challenges, and goals.
No theory. No fluff. Just measurable change the organization can feel.
Why firing is the most expensive and risk-prone option
Replacing a leader triggers four major categories of cost and risk that organizations rarely account for fully:
Financial loss: Recruiting, onboarding, and ramp-up frequently exceed 150 to 300 percent of a leader’s annual salary. Productivity drops during the vacancy, and even the strongest new hire requires months to gain context and credibility.
Operational setbacks: Work slows. Projects stall. Staff burn out. Priorities drift. Cross-functional collaboration suffers. Teams wait for decisions the leader is not there to make.
HR and legal costs: Any termination carries risk, even with documentation. Wrongful termination, discrimination, and retaliation claims can cost tens to hundreds of thousands in legal fees, settlements, and internal labor hours.
Reputational impact: Turnover signals instability to employees, senior leaders, funders, regulators, and community partners. It erodes confidence and increases scrutiny during an already sensitive period.
Replacing a leader is not a simple solution.
It introduces financial, operational, and legal consequences that compound quickly and often repeat if the underlying pattern is never addressed.
The smarter move is to fix what can be fixed.
How the Leadership Reset works
Assess
A Leadership Index identifies the leader’s decision patterns, friction points, and the exact behaviors that must shift.
Strategize
We define the specific leadership outcomes the organization needs, from team stabilization to restoring credibility or improving cross-functional alignment.
Implement
Across 8 weeks, the leader receives focused, evidence-based coaching and proven leadership tools they apply immediately in real situations.
Amplify
The new behaviors hold through simple, repeatable practices the leader continues using after the intervention ends.

It is a performance reset that produces visible change.
Who this intervention is for:
Leaders promoted for operational excellence, not people management
Managers struggling with communication, ownership, or follow-through
High-value employees at risk of burnout, stagnation, or exit
HR leaders seeking an alternative to PIPs and termination
Executives who need a fast, low-risk way to stabilize a struggling leader
Fix. Don't fire.
When leadership breaks down, you have two choices:
Replace the person — or reset how they lead.
Replacing a leader creates cost and risk.
Resetting the way they lead creates stability and results.
Fix. Don’t fire.
